MALT TAX MATTER TO COME OP Druggists Hope to License Re duced. Get The pawn brokers and the pharma cists are slated for a lengthy pow-wow with the tax committee Wednesday af ternoon at 1 o'clock, when efforts will be made to curtail the tax ordinance In several directions. The pharmacists were served with notices by License Inspectors Ewing nnd Hayes to pay the 1200 on the sale <>f malt extracts sevsral weeks ago. Some have sent In their checks and City Attorney James L. Mayson haa ruled that all will have to pay. Since the ruling and the exclusive article on the subject printed In The Georgian, the drug store men have swarmed tu the mayor's parlor every time the tax committee shotted any eigne lit holding session, but the fight to have the ordi nance removed has never been pulled off. The pawnbrokers have been served ultli notices and, In most coses, have paid Into the city coffers a 160 license for selling other than second-hand poods. It Is their purpose to have thla ordinance removed. In order to see If he can be. legally ejected from a car because he Is two cars behind the time punched on his transfer when the two care which passed him were crowded so he could hardly have gotten a foothold, A. 8. Schell, a skilled machinist living In East Point, has brought suit against the Georgia Railway and'Electric Com pany for $2,000. In his petition, which was filed on Wednesday In the superior court b> his attorneys, E. F. Childress and J. H. Pitman, he claims that hs got a trans fer from the Houston and Hunter line to the East Point cars. He admits that the transfer declared It waa good only for the first car on tho route, but claims fluff the drat two cars to pass him at ths transfer point, Whitehall, near Broad street, wore crowded to the steps. He got on tho third car and the conductor told him hla transfer was "N. O.," and told him further that he was “man enough to put him off”—all Of this, so the peti tioner. claims, without provocation on his part. He says that the conductor called him In substance a dead-beat and that thereupon he told the street car employee quietly that he would not pay or leave the car, Insisting that ths transfer be accepted. He says that ha waa then forcibly ejected from the car at the corner of Whitehall and Park streets. After this recital of al leged facts the plaintiff proceeds tell why he Is entitled to damages from the street railway people. He says that acting under Its franchise the de fendant has so placed Its double tracks that competition Is shut oft and monopoly Is formed. He claims that the company could, were It eo disposed, furnish enough cars to handle the trathe comfortably or could attach trailers or supplement ary cars on the same schedules already run, as Is done In other cities of less population than Atlanta. The plaintiff claims that tha defendant company neglects to properly care for Its pat rons, although It has a full knowledge of the Inconveniences suffered. Mr. Schell, who Is a skilled mechanic, has, he says, ridden on the cars from East Point and paid his fare, practical ly every day for many years, and that ths conductor knowingly misrepresent ed him when he placed him In the hearing of other people on the car li the category of dead-beats and dlshon est persons. At the last meeting of the county commissioners the street car company was requested to give better service on the East Point line. HAL DANIEL, AGE 7 YEARS, TRAMPS TO CHATTANOOGA; .

Guess I’ll go back to school. For the prodigal returned after three days, In which his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Daniel, of 271 Central ave nue. had been alternately weeping and wiring In the hope of Itndlnr him. Stor ies of kidnaping, drowning and other fearful things had enlivened the In terval between Hal’s departure and the news that he had arrived In Chatta nooga, "where his kin people lived at." Hal started to the Crew street school last Friday, wondering whether the new-stylo spelling would make It'hard- sr or easier to pass Ills examinations. Hs was so absorbed In his meditations at school that when a big boy stuck a pin In him he yelled and was repri manded. Somebody told Hal he would be suspended, no he sold his books to a second-hand dealer for $1.26 and thus equipped for travel, started on a Jour ney to tho West, where there are In dians walling to be killed and no boy- terror of t(ic plains to do tho killing. , niK BUI Burk, patrolman of the’ Chattanooga department, was walking his beat Sunday mornlnrf, when he saw a youngster on the curbstone who looked as though he had been through a milt. "What's the matter, kid?" asked tho policeman. "I'm hungry,” Mid the youthful In- vnnder of the wild and woolly West. "I haven't any ride and I haven't any money and I don't see any Indians and —and I want to go hd-o-mo. It's din ner time and I haven't had breakfast yet.” "Well, Mr. Diamond Dick," said Pa trolman Burk, “before we go out In dlan hunting we’ll walk over to the restaurant and you'll have dinner me." Under the Influence of ham and eggs and a big mug of milk the boy traveler became loquacious and entertained the policeman and the Greek restaurant- keeper with the story of his wrongs and the pilgrimage which follqwed. "I was at school and a big boy stuck a pin In me and I hollered," he ex plained. "It hurt, too. .And then De cause I hollered I got suspended. Then I was afraid *.to go home and get lickin', so I sold my books and came over here.” "How'd you get here, son?" asked Patrolman Burk. "You shore must be a walksr If you made It here since Friday." "Oh, I got on the train and rode till they put me off," explained Hal, "be tween bites of pie. “Then I got on the next one and rede a little bit fur- ther. There's lots of trains, you know But I walked part the way. And haven't had to wash my face since left home." When Hal told hla name at tjie police station nnd confided to the desk ser geant that he had aome kinfolks In Chattanooga, It was easy to straighten out matters. A telegram to the At lanta home brought more Joy than the yellow envelopes often carry anil a tel ephone soon called Hal's Chattanooga relatives to the station. Hal arrived In Atlanta Monday morning, well fed, clothed and ready to take up arithmetic and geography once more. But I'm not going to atart out West again until I have more money and can get to the real pralrlea," he remarked, after breakfast. “Chattanooga's a bum town. But that was mighty good pie.' D. O. K.

OIL TRUST GETS SEPARATE TRIALS Findlay, Ohio, Sept 12.—Pleas of “not guilty" have been made to all barges brought against the Standard Oil Company by Proucutor David, in the local court. The defendants de manded sepnrate trial by Jury. Little knots of men gathered at street corners and discussed the portentous placards. Pointed questions regarding the membership were asked and "Are you a Ku KluxT’ took the place of the usual salutation. Half tho city was on tiptoe with ex pectancy. "Where will they meet? Is It a se cret? I'd like to go and look on If I knew where. But the Ku Klux would be a mighty bad thing. The police should break It up. They ought to turn out the military” Then the whole thing exploded when the head of one firm walked Into his •lore after lunch nnd answered an In quiry as to the placard. "That? Oh, that's only a meeting of the Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorasson. Just a side-show of the Knights of Pythias, you know." That settled It.
